It seems to me that the problem exists with the live cd as well. I've tried this with the AMD64 and the i386 versions of ubuntu and kubuntu on an AMD64 laptop and desktop and an intel laptop all with the same segfault unmounting the filesystem on shutdown/reboot from the cd.

The problem seems to be different on Feisty (at least for the live cd I haven't tried Feisty on my pendrive). Umount fails when trying to unmount the /cow directory. I think I read somewhere that this was a typo in the umountfs script.

I think we only notice this when using persistent mode on the pendrive because that's the only time it's an issue. It's doing the same thing from the live cd, it just doesn't matter because no files are actually written. Is this possibly fixed in Hardy Heron? I lack the necessary skills to play with early Alpha builds.
